I agree completely. Ideally I think it might be wise to have a TORQUE 
page on SourceForge. This bugs can be marked public/private for the CRI 
internal folks. They'd provide an excellent place to track bugs that 
have been fixed in releases without having to search through the mailing 
lists. SF also takes care of things like release notes, documentation, 
etc. Just a thought, but perhaps just the first step is a public bugzilla.

If bugs are open for TORQUE though, everybody should be able to see 
them. Transparency is key, especially for open source project, even 
given the constraints of "for fee" development. There are countless 
other projects that have a for fee side to their development, and to my 
knowledge at least, at their bug tracking system is available for 
anybody to see.
